Re: Female Parachuting Tourist Dies After Midair Collision with Other Parachutist
that was a HIGH fall that ain't no low level fall... ALSO in both falls recently including the homo fairy parade fall both people are traveling at high speed and downward. In this case she hit a high friction surface (sand) which is extremely dense earth and on the other fall video the guy hits a rock solid stage designed to support many people all doing gay things at the same time.

IMO ....... the one at fault would be the parachutist coming in high on the left - the one that survived. She was higher and had a better view of what is around her and should have turned to avoid the collision. |

I somehow doubt it is one of those beach games where you roll up and get ten minutes training tin skydiving. Maybe she was a tourist to that country, but still a proper licensed skydiver? |

She basically had a 3-4 story fall, and landed on her face. Since the other person only hit her canopy, they probably only had some fabric burn at the most.

Re: Female Parachuting Tourist Dies After Midair Collision with Other Parachutist
Makes me realise how dangerous my tandem paragliding experience was in Turkey. If you collide or the chute fails, you've no chance  |
